Families Exploring and Enjoying the Outdoors
“I won’t be staying here for long,” I said to my lone crew member, who also happened to be my beautiful wife. I was running up to the 73 km aid station, the second to last stop along my 100 km Iron Legs Ultra Trail Run journey. I was feeling exhilarated after descending Moose Mountain.…
With one look at my daughter I knew that she was at the end of her patience. After the long 6 hour car ride, her hair was disheveled and her face was still covered with morning’s pancakes. My 2 year old is not a fan of having her face wiped especially with the disposable wipes…
